Issy and I are working our way through Showtimes's series 'Weeds' on Netflix. Highly recommended.

That looks like the showtime channel after 9pm every night when I was growing up. Always not really showing you anything...

That man has a bright future writing soundtracks for Showtime porn.

Films I watched Tuesday:

• "Gonzo: The Life and Work of Hunter S. Thompson"
• "The Pussycat Preacher AND Virtual Freedom"

"Gonzo" was sold out 45 minutes before showtime. I was put on a waiting list in case some folks did not show up. Fifteen minutes before showtime, names on the waiting list were called out. Mine was called and I did get to see the film.

let's go.

one man at the window, one girl at the bar.
saw that look of recognition when they know just who you are.
seen you on the tv. i seen you on that show.
you make the people crazy, and then you let them go.

before the show we calm them. we sympathize. we care.
and the hostile folk we keep apart 'til the red light says "on air".
did you see our leather lovers all tied up to the chair?
did you catch those child molesters? no one else goes there.

what a show. the barry williams show, what a show.
dysfunctional excess is all it took for my success.
the greater pain that they endure, the more you know the show will score.
it's showtime.

got the reputation of a surgeon 'cuz they cannot feel the cut.
it looks so very simple but it really is an art.
they call our studio 'the hospital', making money from the sick.
we let people be themselves. there is no other trick.

'my lover stole my girlfriend', 'i keep beating up my ex'
'i want to kill my neighbor', 'my daughter's selling sex'
'my s/m lover hurt me', 'my girl became a man'
'i love my daughter's rapist', 'my life's gone down the pan'

what a show, the barry williams show.
dysfunctional excess is all it took for my success.
and when the punches start to fly?
the ratings always read so high.

the best tv you've ever seen,
where people say the things that they really mean.
i hear my name, i hear them roar.
for the one more time i take the floor.

just one more barry williams show.
we're gonna take you where you want to go.

showtime.

that girl has got no scruples, not a wrinkle on her face.
you would not believe the plot she conceived,
so they let her take my place.

well, no man is an island. no man is a sea.
but this display of emotion is all but drowning me.
what a show.

Next on Showtime: Helter Skelter, the Musical

will the TV fairy pleeeez give me showtime for free?

Showtime forever!
Nice collage and excellent choice for b/g music Aaron.
This had everyone from Green to Rambis..
I've been a fan since '84..I think we have a good squad this year.

Yes, I was watching the new Tudors on YT earlier. Showtime posted it themselves. I almost shared it here, then remembered the RULE

When I say they are on the record, I mean they have said that while they understand the urge, they wish people would not put Bullshit! on youtube, that it is harmful to their relationship with Showtime.

To fulfill the rule, all Eric would have to do is dump the player, put up the first clip, and link to the other two. I think there are actually good, not just rule-obsessed, reasons to do this, as a nod towards not doing it at all.

OK, it's SHOWTIME . . .

LMFAHS. Nice scene. Was it a dream sequence or are you going to tell us the address of that church?

The only thing on Showtime I watch is Dexter and his dark passenger.
